Chapter 1871: Capítulo 1871: Chapter 1874

After a month without seeing Bei Tianyou, a warm current surged in Baili Xia’s heart upon seeing him again.

That sense of familiarity and closeness was particularly intense.

She even felt an illusion, as if she had suffered a great grievance and wanted to find her brother for protection.

Baili Xia walked towards Bei Tianyou, and suddenly threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

Bei Tianyou was slightly taken aback and, after a moment, slowly raised his hand to gently stroke Baili Xia’s hair.

“What’s wrong?”

He felt a gentle pang deep in his heart, knowing what this girl had gone through on her trip back.

There was even a moment when he decided to go to Jin City to help her.

But after careful consideration, he decided to leave everything to Mu Xiaojiu.

With Mu Xiaojiu there, he knew the girl would be safe.

But hadn’t the girl already forgotten those things now? So why was she still like this?

Baili Xia just snuggled in his embrace without speaking.

Leaning against Bei Tianyou, she seemed to feel the wounds in her heart healing little by little.

Bei Tianyou’s hand gently tousled Baili Xia’s hair, and slowly, Baili Xia finally felt much better inside.

She lightly pulled away from Bei Tianyou, a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

“Sorry, I…” That was her cousin, her real cousin, just like a real brother.

Family, at this moment, inexplicably gave her an indescribable comfort.

Even if he didn’t say a word, as long as he stood in front of her, letting her look at him, that feeling of confusion and helplessness suddenly healed.

Bei Tianyou’s lips gently curled into a smile, and his voice softened.

“It’s okay, I missed you too, girl.”

Baili Xia smiled, and that embarrassment disappeared completely because of his words.

“What about him?” Bei Tianyou asked.

Baili Xia knew who he meant: “Wu Ming is in the room, I was bored, so I came down for a walk.”

“Brother You, how’s the preparation for the competition?” It was then that she remembered to ask about the matter.

A trace of worry flashed in Bei Tianyou’s eyes, his voice calm: “It was fine before, the team’s combat capability has improved a lot.”

“But without Guisu, I fear our individual capability will take a big hit.”

“How’s their strength over there now?” Baili Xia asked.

“Their strength has also improved a lot during this time. Initially, we could still contend with them, but now it should be very difficult.”

“I just went over to the main house where a few of us discussed the upcoming competition.”

Baili Xia didn’t interrupt him, listening quietly.

It was only then Bei Tianyou recounted the discussion that occurred earlier at the main house.

It seemed that in front of her, he was always open and answered her questions readily.

They just confirmed the exact date of the competition, set for seven days later.

Since the content of this competition is a team project, the details differ from previous years, requiring redesign.

The competition was divided into two major parts: one part assessed the team’s overall quality, including both physical and skills aspects.

The other part assessed collaborative combat ability, protection of important figures, and breakout capabilities.

The competition venue would be arranged at the Bei Family’s back mountain.

For Baili Xia, none of this was unexpected. This competition tested hard strength and had little to do with the content.

“In the next few days, I’ll try to contact Guisu. It would be best to find him. If not, see if Wu Ming can take his place.”

Baili Xia had no other choice, perhaps Uncle’s arrangement of Wu Ming was also for this purpose.

Although this possibility was not very high.
